Project 365: 2012

First few days of January and I'm on a roll.. Sort of. Ha! Thanks to the goodness of my iPad and iPhone, attempting to complete this project would make things a lot easier :) I'll be uploading every four days (thank you, Phoster) and hopefully, keeping my fingers crossed, finish 2012's Project 365. Have you started yours already? :)

Miss goin to the beach..

it's been revived!!! my blog, that is. let's just say i have a bit of time on my hands this week, and perhaps more with the upcoming long holy week :) i have not been shooting much for quite a long time and when opportunities come, i would try to grab them as much as i could. last saturday was one of those breaks when a friend from work popped the obligatory statement, "let's shoot on saturday - 4AM - at Intramuros".. of course, for those of you who actually know me, i would naturally say, "what?! 4 freakin' AM?!". lol. and so i went. there were three of us who made that valiant effort to wake up at 3:30AM and meet up an hour later at intramuros, manila. it was NOT an easy feat, for me at least. last time i woke up this early was a few years back when we had to drive up somewhere north!

so anyways, with all the hoola about prepping up so early to shoot, i came a bit unprepared. it was still dark and we were meant to catch the blue hour. thanks to the tripod i borrowed from a friend, it had no plate :| so i ended up using a cute tiny tripod and tried to take turns with my hobbyist friends.

nope, no tripod.. HA! ok, i think a pavement shot would work. eek.

finally, a crack at using a tripod (thanks, mike!) this is probably the only one in my set that i felt happy about :) bye bye twilight after this one.

day break. intramuros is rising up to a beautiful saturday :)

how thrilled was i to see the light (no tripod needed!!!) and took a few shots of the manila cathedral once again.

i capped the morning with a shot of the tower.

i guess i can say that, yes, there will be a next time :) it was amusing to finally shoot these kinds of subjects again. when that next session comes, i'd most want to be prepared.. lol. more than anything else though, it was a pleasure to see manila in a different light, capturing some of the details that a handful of us usually take a blind eye to everyday.

my longtime friend, cha, buzzed me last friday for a save-the-date shoot for her brother, shallom. i haven't gone shooting for quite some time because of my real work, so, the idea of having to heat up my camera again seemed like a welcome idea. we headed off to the u.p. technohub for some coffee on a rainy saturday morning and just went around to shoot photos for their save-the-date card. i need loads of time to finish the entire set so here's a sneak peek :)

cute couple, yes? :) will be posting more photos soon! :D have a great week, everyone!

here i go again with project 365.. last 2008, i only lasted until march and wasn't able to catch up. haha! pathetic i know.. but i'm hopeful this 2009.. maybe, just maybe, i can at least make it. lol! :) i think this is really a fun exercise to spruce up your creativity or tickle it a bit. plus all the other folks doing the 365 are such an inspiration... :) oh, 2009! i so fervently hope i complete you this time :D
